Hi Everyone, I started my preop liquid diet today. I can only have broth, sugar free jello and popsicles. Of course, also protein shakes. My surgery is scheduled for Thursday, July 8th. Only 3 Days Left!!! Getting very nervous. I go tomorrow to get my blood taken and my preop class. Not sure what the preop class is for. Good luck to everyone getting surgery.

My surgery is July 8th and I am getting very nervous but excited. My doctor only requires a 3 day liquid diet that I will be starting on July 5th. I guess 3 days will be a lot easier than other preop diets I hear everyone talking about that lasts for 2-3 weeks. I guess every doctor is different. I need to buy some premixed protein drinks. Any suggestions on some that taste good? My other things I can drink/eat are sugar free jello, popsicles, and soup broth. Sounds yummy :tt1:

Hi Everyone. New to this forum. I am getting my surgery on July 8. I was approved by my insurance, but found out it is still going to cost me about $3800. I pay 15% of the contracted rate and I was not expecting that and the hospital wants their money up front. Does anyone else have this problem?
